president obama's election said one message, the election of republican house of representatives since another. the actually, working at odds here. you have republicans who will not raise taxes for anyone making more than $250,000 a year, and looking at entitlement cuts. yet democrats that say you have any taxes for those who make under $250,000 and no cuts to the low-you had democrats as a you have no taxes for those -- no tax cuts for those making under $250,000. we're going the wrong direction. why have we been talking about stimulating the economy through jobs? we seem to accept a certain amount of unemployment as being necessary for the proper functioning of the economy, so that for corporations and will keep wages low. that is baloney. we are creating our own economic vice that is entrapping tens of millions of americans. i find it unacceptable. it is like this whole fiscal cliff thing is the creation of people who are unimaginative and locked in by special interests. >> congressmember kucinich, the issue of medicare and social security, what it means for president obama to so-ca

in fact, many tea party members lost their re-election bid in 2012. it is hard to generalize, but you could look at a number of them and say that this sort of souring of public opinion on the tea party as a result of their perceived unwillingness to compromise in 2011 over the debt ceiling negotiations probably was held against them, probably heard not only them in their reelection bid, but also republicans more broadly and republican brand, because they are perceived to be the party of in transient as a result of this increasingly small minority within the house republican conference that is made up of self identifying two-party roads who rode the wave in 2010 into office. in some ways, they're carrying out their mandate. this is what they said in the campaign, that there were not on a compromise on the fiscal issues. they are not doing it. it is had a rather gridlock- inducing effect on the government and a damaging effect on perceptions of both the tea party and the republican party. >> and your sense of where dick armey goes with is a million- dol

there is -- guest: it was a definitive election. i think in some ways, it was the most important election because of the ability to define us going forward. i think we would go gone in a different direction in terms of economic issues and in terms of some of the social and foreign policies. host: what does it say about the electorate? guest: the critical thing is a shift in the demographics. i think there is a new coalition that includes minorities and women which has never been seen as being so dominant in terms of that power to elect a president. it is the case that democrats were getting more votes than republicans. host: when it comes to coalitions being formed -- in one of your opinion pieces earlier this month, he said marco rubio was the top lawmaker in 2012. guest: when you look back at this election, he will see marco rubio trying his very best to try to devise an immigration plan that the republicans could support, and the purpose of it from his perspective was to take away from the president the support he was going to ge

on one hand you have, obama is one of 17 american presidents to be elected to a second term, and yet we really understand now in some respects the illusions of the power of the second term president. to have another nominee, perhaps the president's preferred candidate for the pentagon, secretary of defense, premptively challenged is remarkable and extraordinary. one other point that needs to be made regardless of who becomes secretary of defense, barack obama is most withholding president since richard nixon. there's no question about that. all power on the consequential issues of war and peace, afghanistan, iraq, the war on terror, big think strategy in iran, the israeli palestinian peace process, during his first term came in and out of the white house. secretary clinton, we'll never know whether she could be a consequential great secretary of state because the presidential essentially dominates. he does not delegate. and the reality is both at state and defense, the interesting question will be it seems to me on whether or not in the second term the president will allow his nation
